So this is the first winter I've seriously been using my trainer.
In the past I've had a bare bones magneto trainer and it was awful and I guess that's why I never used it.
This year I bought a good, used Cyclops Fluid 2.
My question is this-
Do these trainers have to "warm up?"
It seems that for the first 5-6 minutes of my ride, and it's almost always 5-6 minutes, there is very little resistance. Almost like being on rollers. Then suddenly the resistance kicks in and things are good to go.
Is this just a fluid trainer thing or did I get a dud? Or do I need to service it somehow?
Thanks for humoring a dumb question.
